Krafton Reports 35.5% Q3 Profit Decline Amid Sales Growth and New Investments
Krafton, the South Korean publisher of PUBG: Battlegrounds, reported a 35.5% decline in operating profit to 225 billion won in Q3 despite an 11.6% rise in sales to 971.4 billion won. The profit drop was attributed to fewer IP collaborations and increased investments in new projects. The company plans to expand its player base, focus on the upcoming Subnautica 2 launch, and execute a 300 billion-won share buyback. Krafton India will release the BGMI 4.7 update featuring a Nordic winter-themed mode on November 18, 2026.
